Lancer football loses stunner to Waterloo By Michal Tellos Sports Editor October 15, 2008 Embarrassing. Disgusting. Inconceivable. These were the only words used by Lancer athletes and coaches to describe the football game against the visiting Waterloo Warriors last Friday, where for the second consecutive year, a huge half-time lead was squandered, this time ending in a 30-29 loss.
 The ‘Turkey Bowl’ was the last Lancers regular season home game, and it was a disastrous farewell for departing fifth-years.
The game was an odd one, as each quarter seemingly presented a different Lancer squad.
The first quarter showed the two squads on somewhat even footing, as each team battled but produced nothing. It ended with a near-even score of 1-0 Waterloo. >> | Lancers honoured at 2008 WESPY Awards By Tanya Quaglia
Lance Writer October 15, 2008 The fourth annual Windsor Essex Sports Person of the Year Awards, held on Tuesday Oct. 7, were a success for Lancer athletes.
 Nine Lancers were nominated for various awards, and four of them, along with a coach, struck gold and brought home some hardware.
Lancer basketball star, shooting guard Dranadia Roc, took home the award for Top Female Basketball Athlete of the year.
Roc, a Montreal native and one of the top basketball players in the country, led the Lancers to a 14-8 record, putting the Lancers in the playoffs, averaging 16.6 points per game. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Samantha Hoover: a rookie with a future By Jasmine Ball
Lance Writer October 15, 2008 Samantha Hoover, a fresh face and rookie winger on the Lancers’ women’s hockey team, is a fun-loving girl who enjoys reading, swimming and of course getting on the ice for a good game of Canada’s national winter sport.
In her childhood Hoover originally took to the ice as a figure skater, but as a sprightly seven-year-old she was determined to go to hockey camp and since her experience there she has “never looked back.”
She played hockey throughout high school – and was encouraged to continue when in her first year on the Stayner Collegiate team, the Aurora Panthers, her school finished third in the provincials and competed in the Ontario Winter Games.
The 5’5 forward, originally from New Lowell, Ontario, was also a two-time player of the year with the Clearview Ice Cats Midget Hockey Club, prior to joining the Panthers.
With the Ice Cats, her team played in the Silver Stick Tournament, where Hoover was named MVP of the tournament. >> |
